To evaluate and manage a 35-year-old female presenting with symptoms of low mood, fatigue,

dysthymia, bipolar spectrum disorders, and thyroid-related mood changes.

comprehensive mental-status exam, apply DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, and formulate an
evidence-based treatment plan that integrates pharmacologic, psychotherapeutic, and lifestyle
interventions.
